Another T.O.-free Tryout Tuesday

Last Tuesday, receiver Terrell Owens worked out for no teams while 53 available players auditioned at facilities throughout the country. This Tuesday, T.O. once again was ignored.

One guy who wasn’t ignored was cornerback Perrish Cox (pictured). Though he has received little interest since being cut by the Broncos, the Redskins gave him a tryout despite pending charges arising from the alleged rape — and impregnation — of a woman who had passed out at his apartment in 2010. Cox’s trial is set for February 27.

Here’s the full tryout list for Tuesday, November 1, per a league source.

Redskins try out Perrish Cox because maybe they can use him before his trial. They ought to go get Chris Cook from the Vikes too, if he’s allowed to leave the state. He hasn’t been found guilty yet either. Long term downtrend: Redskins team culture. Why fight it?

Guys like Tiki Barber, Terrel Owens, Jamarcus Russell are learning the hard way that when you burn bridges, have a big mouth and act like an ahole you better have major skills to go along with the bs. Once those skills start to slip youll be long gone. Good riddance.

T.O has been such a class act throughout his FA process this year.

I wish more washed up players would just try to kill themselves rather than sponge up the limelight

The Colts should go sign Brett Favre, Tiki Barber, and Terrell Owens to try to win 1 game this year. Gotta go all-in just to get people to watch them instead of falling asleep during the prime-time games the NFL has them scheduled for.

Although this article is really only about 5% about T.O., I think that he wasn’t given a tryout is the most valuable point made in it. I absolutely love the fact that T.O. and Randy Moss haven’t been brought back by any team(s) this year. Although they both probably have something left in the tank and there are teams that stand to gain something from their skills or “popularity”, it had to stop at some point. Hopefully this sends a message to all young players that a “cancer” in the locker room will only be tolerated so long, regardless of talent. My only hope is that the league will start blackballing guys like this earlier in their careers. It’s one thing to celebrate on the field like Ochocinco, and entirely another to create havoc behind the scenes like T.O.

umm… the Vikes may well have tried out a dude named CJ Wilson, but not the CJ Wilson you’re linking to. That CJ Wilson is still an active member of the Packers’ roster. He’s been active every week and had a tackle against the Vikings in week 7.
